We attended the Montreal Film Festival, an internationally renowned cinematic event held in Montreal, Canada, where the Hikari Project was introduced to global audiences.
By combining traditional Wajima-nuri lacquerware techniques, animation, music, and cutting-edge AI technology, the project offers a unique and immersive visual experience. This innovative model, which channels its proceeds into ongoing disaster recovery efforts, resonated with both filmmakers and audiences as a meaningful approach to raising awareness of social issues through film.
The event underscored the importance of the Hikari Project as a fusion of culture and education, reaffirming its role in inspiring positive change through creative expression.
